The National Pan-Hellenic Council, Incorporated is currently composed of nine (9) International Greek letter Sororities and Fraternities. The NPHC promotes interaction through forums, meetings and other mediums for the exchange of information and engages in cooperative programming and initiatives through various activities and functions. The National Pan-Hellenic Council was organized on May 10, 1930 at Howard University, in Washington, D.C. The stated purpose and mission of the organization in 1930 was "Unanimity of thought and action as far as possible in the conduct of Greek letter collegiate fraternities and sororities, and to consider problems of mutual interest to its member organizations." The NPHC serves as the supporting council for all fraternities and sororities recognized by the National Pan-Hellenic Council.

Membership Intake

Membership selection in NPHC is an individualized process that is different for each organization. Chapter choose the time when they will take new members. This process, known as intake, generally begins with an interest meeting, followed by a period of membership education. The membership process culminates with initiation and a new member presentation, or "coming-out" show in which the organization's new members are revealed to the community. Joining a NPHC chapter is a lifelong commitment to a far-reaching national organization that is both exciting and rewarding. The brotherhood/sisterhood and dedication to community service that individuals share as a members of an NPHC organization is unlike any other.

﻿NPHC Week

NPHC week is a week of programming put on by the National Pan-Hellenic Council at UNCW. The week's programs vary from year to year, but the main focus is always to promote the presence of the NPHC on campus as well as raise awareness about prominent issues in the black community.

The Annual Step Show is a chance for NPHC organizations to show off their stepping abilities to the campus and Wilmington community. The step show aims to bring representatives from all 9 of the NPHC Fraternities and Sororities to Kenan auditorium for a chance to win bragging rights as Wilmington's best step team for the year. The program serves as an important part of Homecoming each year by bringing in many alumni and former UNCW Greeks back to campus to see their new undergraduate members show off their performing abilities.
